Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the Cuban coastline near Havana, the lush Florida peninsula, and a high probability of seeing the Indianapolis skyline during the final approach into IND.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
⛰️

Blue Mountains

A distant view of Jamaica's highest peaks to the east as the plane gains altitude over the Caribbean.

πŸŒ†

Havana Skyline

Clear views of the Cuban capital and its historic harbor as the flight path typically crosses central-western Cuba.

🐊

The Everglades

The sprawling, prehistoric wetlands of southern Florida and the massive expanse of Lake Okeechobee.

πŸŒ‰

Ohio River Crossing

The wide, winding Ohio River serves as the natural border between Kentucky and Indiana, often visible near Louisville.

πŸ™οΈ

Indianapolis Skyline

When landing from the south or east, the right side provides a panoramic view of the Lucas Oil Stadium and downtown high-rises.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the harsh afternoon glare. It offers the best chance to see the Florida interior and is strategically better for seeing the Indianapolis city center during the landing sequence.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏝️

Montego Bay Coastline

Breathtaking views of the turquoise waters and coral reefs of Doctor's Cave Beach immediately after takeoff.

πŸ‡¨πŸ‡Ί

Western Cuba

Aerial perspective of the Pinar del RΓ­o province and the unique limestone karst mogotes of the ViΓ±ales Valley.

🌊

Gulf of Mexico

A vast expanse of deep blue water as the flight crosses the Florida Straits towards the US mainland.

πŸ–οΈ

Florida Panhandle

Views of the emerald green waters and stark white sands of Destin and Pensacola as you cross the coast.

🌽

Midwestern Grids

The transition into the perfectly rectangular agricultural patterns and patchwork fields of southern Indiana.

Choose the left side for afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the Gulf of Mexico. It is also the better side for spotting the white sand beaches of the Florida Panhandle if the flight path tracks slightly west.
